Cannot odin stock SGS4G

I tried to flash a rom with CWM but i couldnt mount sd, it gave me an error, then phone would not boot. I got into download mode and am trying to ODIN back to stock, but all i get is the 3e recovery loop. any ideas? in the recovery (3e) after one flashes, it gives: E:cant mount /dev/block/st110; E:delete_files_for_s1_data:cant mount DATA; Cache wipe failed. any help would be appreciated
which rom are you flashing with odin?
open odin 1.7 first on your computer
put your phone in download mode
odin should detect it
use ODIN whitehawkx KC1 found on this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554
then just press start and wait for it to finish (approx. 2mins 35secs for me)
when its done, it will reboot you into the blue stock recovery and just reboot it and let the rom load for 10mins or so
i tried the stock KD1, the screen turned all blue one time, and when i threw my sd into my computer, it was in read-only state, and couldnt add or delete any files
Don't do kd1. go into the bible and find the noobs guide to odin. Follow those directions and you should be ok. Let me know how it goes

should i do KB5 custom or the KD1 + root? also, the kb5 gets hung at modem. I'm following the guide and only putting it in PDA in odin, and no PIT file
I did kb5 and it worked fine for me

kb5 will not load all the way. kd1 gives me recovery loops. ive gotten kb5 to load, but does recovery loops, never boots into system
ok now try KC1
Kc1 worked

Kc1 is the best to start with especially if you plan on flashing other roms like team whiskey's bionix roms or team acids icbinb don't forget , read read read.... and Check your mounts ;-)

[Q] Flashing CWM onto rooted SGS 4G

Hey. So I rooted my T-Mobile SGS 4G (stock 2.2 firmware) with SuperOneClick. That was super easy, I tested it out with a few utilities and I definitely have root.
So I went into rom manager and pushed the button to flash clockwork mod. It asked me for superuser status, said it was successful, but then it boots into the stock samsung recovery. I've tried this several times and I always have the same result. I'm sorry if there's an answer on this already but I'll be damned if I could figure out how to search for it without coming up with a bunch of unrelated problems.
Thanks!
Try going into clockwork and choosing boot to recovery then after that if it goes into stock recovery choose reinstall packages sometimes you have to choose reinstall twice. That's how I got mine into cwm first time

Oh no that's the problem, I can't get clockwork to boot. No matter how many times I install it using the installer inside rom manager, the stock recovery boots up.
ROM MANAGER DOES NOT WORK. USE KRYLONS CWM FINAL IN THE DEV SECTION.

Yea I no, but wen u boot into it you get the stock 3e recovery and there is an option to reinstall packages
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
You need to download krylons modified recovery.bin file and use a file explorer app to push the file to system/bin. You need to also have the file update.zip on the root of your SD card. Then you boot into stock recovery and choose reinstall packages. This will boot you into cwm.

[Q] Modified e3 Recovery

Hi there,
I own a Rogers Samsung Infuse. I rooted and flashed CM9 onto my phone yesterday. Long story short, had an issue with Google Apps, and ended up with a phone that would constantly boot to the CWM Recovery screen.
I was able to use ODIN3 to get my phone back to stock, but could not flash CM9 (or anything) with CWM as I was (and still am) getting the:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I tried using this: Odin - Stock (100% or Root+3e), but the phone kept getting stuck at the Samsung screen.
I tried watching the modified e3 recovery video on youtube, but my recovery file is sitting in the root folder, and not in system/bin where it should be. I ignored the location of the file, replaced it with the modified e3 recovery file, but when I rebooted my phone, it's as if the changes didn't take place.
I've been digging (maybe not hard enough) for a solution to this problem. CM9 looked fantastic for the 5 minutes I had it on my phone.
What can I do now?
It sounds to me like you lost cwm recovery if you want to flash cm9 you need to flash the ics recovery file. Doesn't verify signature verification

Go back to stock with root and modded recovery then flash the new recovery

I flashed the recovery, reflashed CM9 & Google Apps and it's now working! Hopefully no more hiccups after this. Many thanks, gatoraid84!
Glad you got it working keep in mind different roms heave different recovery files switching roms can switch your recovery

Out of curiosity, would you happen to know of CMW isn't compatible with either CM9 or AOKP's ICS?

Compatible...? You have to be on blue cwm to flash cm9 & aokp ....red cwm will not work...that's why you do a two flash...
My first attempt to get into CWM recovery after getting my phone back to stock and re-rooting put me into red recovery mode for reason. I ended up in blue recovery mode after trying to flash/reboot once? I completed the process in blue recovery to ensure it works, and it's been good since Monday. Only the Kernel Panic Upload Mode is giving me trouble...
I also got this problem
I also got this problem tell me please what can i do , i cant install any modes

You want the blue (ics) recovery to be able to flash an ics rom?
Look at this guide, you will find the heimdall one click linked in the OP.

I can see Blue letters while starting the phone in recovery mode. I assume that is Blue CWM. Please correct if I am wrong. If that is Blue CWM, then I need the recovery file. Please help.
Thanks
Bidhu
Not necesarilly. The stock 3e recovery also has blue letters, but you should be able to tell them apart. It actually says 3e at the top and only has about 3 options to select.

Cant make a nandroid in recovery

Yesterday I rooted my 8013 note with UEALGB software and tried to make a nandroid in high on android cwm. It would reboot recovery everytime i started the backup process. So i flashed TWRP through goo manager app then tried to make a nandroid and the same thing would happen. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Edit: I just tried to flash the stock recovery and it seems like I am stuck with cwm or twrp. I flashed stock recovery through Odin and it said it was successful but when I reboot into recovery I still have custom recovery.
Edit: Seems to only happen when I try to backup the system partition.

Zeodmaxs root without recovery first then I went back and flashed high on android cwm through Odin later in the night because I wanted to start playing around with stuff.

The root injected image causes problems. I think you're gonna have to ODIN the original image back on it to fix it. Search around, it's here somewhere.
Go for method #2 next time. Roots without an issue.
Did you flash the the Superuser.zip file after flashing Zedomaxs cwm.tar fie in odin? This is needed to get true root priveleges.
Not sure why you can't reflash a stock rom though, that's how I've always gotten rid of root access to revert back to stock...

I didn't flash the superuser.zip. I have root while in android though. I will try to flash it and see if that helps.

Great Advice = I PM the same advice .
Can only flash a custom kernel over the stock Gingerbread to get CWM, No need to flash the whole ROM.
